1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the show, and a big one

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: for you tonight in advance of Thursday night football on

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: the flagship Sports Radio six to ten with the Jets

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: and Patriots getting together. We've got the General John McClain

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: coming up, as we always do on a Thursday. Let's

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: kick off the show now, though, Johnny Harris and I

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: catching up with Rod Wright, Longhorn and D Line coach

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: for your Texans. The D line off to a great start,

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: so Coach Wright likes the way it's going so far.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: I feel really good so far.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: You know, we got a completely new D line outside

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: a will and a couple other guys. So learning our

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: system and what we do isn't the easiest thing to do.

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: But throughout the first two games, those guys attacking, being

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: violent in a run game and rushing together for egals

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: one is what we say when we rush the passer.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: Pretty pleased as the way we started out.

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: Coach, the first two quarterbacks, you face Anthony Richardson, Caleb Williams,

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: you get your rush lanes and they can hurt you.

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 5: Sam Darnald can do the same thing.

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: How important is it to continue to rush for as

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 4: one against a guy like Darnold.

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: It's it's exactly the same, really really no difference. He's

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: been running the ball effectively like last week and two

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: two minute he kind of ran up the middle on

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: a scramble that was uh least a point. So we

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: got to do a good job being on the same

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: page understanding who has what and having a balanced rush

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: and not allowing him to to escape like that.

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: So week one we had the sacks with Mario Edwards

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and Folly Fotacosti. Let's talk about those two guys to

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: start out with, coach, because they're doing a good job

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: for you overall. And Mario has been around this league

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: for a long time and here he finds a new

35
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: home and seems to be fitting in so well.

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's two things.

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: Number one, he's we call call call it rep our style.

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: He is our style as a as a person. And

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: his play style before he even got here, he was intense, violent,

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: plays hard, and that's what we that's what we love

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: and that's what we covered around here.

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: So it was it was an easy fit.

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: And then the second thing, he bought in right away

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: everything we we coached him and told him, he bought

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: right into. Sometimes you know, when you've come from so

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: many different schemes, uh, you kind of revert back, and

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: especially with with what we do sometimes when we say attack,

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: it's hard to do that every time when you have

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: an attack like that. And so he's bought in right away.

50
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: He's been a really good fit from the from the beginning.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 5: Well, and you mentioned him earlier. He's the only not

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: do guy.

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: There's some others as well, but he's the guy you

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: mentioned your one to year or two. You talk about

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: making that year one year two jump ah. We're starting

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: to see that with Will and what have you seen

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: the changes from your one to year tune Will coach?

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: Well, he knows the ends and outs of this defense.

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: I mean so uh.

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: The funny thing with him as much sometimes in our system,

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: the more you know, uh, sometimes the more you'll you'll

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: kind of try to take it to the next level.

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: And it really just comes back to step one, your

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: stance and how we align and attacking. And so he's

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: really all he's really learned is that the foundation of

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: what we do is going to always be what it

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: what it is when it comes to how we how

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: we play up front. So really with him, it's been

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: him being able to zoom out of side himself and

70
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: being able to be a leader. You know, last years

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: of a rookie, uh kind of learning the ropes and

72
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: learn it really fast. But but this year him being

73
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: a leader amongst vexterans. I mean you look at the

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: D line man. You you got guys that played ten

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: years plus right next to him, and he's being asked

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: to be be a captain, you know, and he just

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: has that demeanor about him. He we always say he's

78
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: an old soul even though he's young. I mean, he's

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: very wise and he's very old school with the way

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: he approaches life. So it's been it's been great to

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: see him kind of step outside himself and become a

82
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: leader and help everyone around him come together.

83
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: Texans D line coach Rod Wright with us Danielle Hunter

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: established veteran, no doubt and off the field he seems

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: sort of understated on the field. The switch goes on.

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: What's he bringing on and off the field for you, coach.

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: He's an absolute pro. He's a he's a work workaholic.

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: I mean usual look at his physique. You can tell

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: that he's a worker. And the thing is sometimes you

90
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: just got to have those guys just just go work.

91
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: Every time you look up, he's working, you know. And

92
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: when it comes to the film rooms, he's very good

93
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: with studying and understanding what he's what he's being asked

94
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: to do, and he's really intense. It's the quiet ones

95
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: you gotta look out for, you know, the ones, the

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: ones that the ones that talk a lot. You know,

97
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: sometimes you don't see what they're talking, and you don't

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: you don't see what they're what they're actually doing when

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: they're talking. This guy doesn't say much, but please please understand, Like,

100
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: this guy is intense and he works his butt off

101
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: and he's a great leader in our room. The addition

102
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: of him has been has been amazing.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: Coach, you mentioned this earlier and then got me thinking,

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: I'm talking about.

105
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: Repping your style.

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: Is it easier to find guys that you can get

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: to play your style or is it easier to find.

108
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: Guys that already rep the style? They just have to

109
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: do it in your.

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: Particular defense, Like some of these guys wind up playing

111
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 4: or you know, they can play that style, but they're

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: playing in other places where they're not allowed to play

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: that way, and they're playing a certain way. Is it

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: easier to kind of find those guys that you know,

115
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 4: it's already like Mario and how his his fit into

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: this defense. Was it easier to kind of find a

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: guy like that versus some of the others that might

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: be maybe more talented, but you know, probably are going

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: to take a while to like learn how you want

120
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: to play.

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: But I think it's character, you know, I think that

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: obviously some guys are just wired to run through brick

123
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: walls all the time, like Mario. But it's also character

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, when when you

125
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: have a guy that's tough and it's gonna buy in,

126
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if he if he hasn't been UH in

127
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: this type of system, if he if he has the toughness, yeah,

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: and he has the character to buy in, we can

129
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 3: we can get guys to do it the way we

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: want to do it. But it is it is kind

131
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: of a faster progression when you have a guy who's

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 3: already just kind of wired that way. But it doesn't

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: eliminate somebody if they're not UH. But you you have

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: to be tough to be in this building. You have

135
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: to be disciplined and be in this building because that's

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: that's from the top down, from our head coach.

137
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: That's the way he's wired. That's the way I'm wired.

138
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: That's the way we're wired.

139
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, like, if you

140
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: get uncomfortable about hard work and being physical and buy

141
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: and then it's probably not gonna be the place for you.

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Rod, right with us? Your style? What's your voice? Like

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: your style? Because D line coaches, they could be among

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: the loudest coaches you've ever heard, along with special teams

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and maybe some O line coaches.

146
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: What about you, Rod, Yeah, you just come out to

147
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 5: the field.

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Our stand stand right outside our D line room. I've

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: had multiple people, multiple coaches in the building come to

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: me and they heard everything I said in my meeting

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: room and I'm like, man, I gotta watch what I'll say.

152
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: And then as well as as coach Nate Ali, I mean,

153
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: we're a tag team.

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: He's been in the system before.

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: We're chasing guys down in the outside. We're challenging them,

156
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: We're yelling like that's just the culture, you know. We

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: want to create a mindset of energy that pops off

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: the tape, you know. So at the end of the day,

159
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: like it's not casual it's not laid back. It's always intense,

160
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: it's always competing, it's always attacking, and we're just gonna

161
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: always poor the gunpowder on the guys and kind of

162
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: get guys rapped up and ready to go.

163
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: That's just that's just how it is. That's how it's

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: got to be.

165
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, I mean, is

166
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: you know, I'm wre out by the end of the

167
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: day because I'm giving them everything I got. But this

168
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 3: group does a heck of a job responding and giving

169
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: it right back to us.

170
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: The word swarm Demko came in.

171
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: Remember the first press conference, he talked about the words

172
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: swarm and the mentality that goes with that.

173
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: You're one the year two.

174
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 4: Do you feel like, coach, you're moving closer and closer

175
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: to having that swarm mentality every single day, whereas maybe

176
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: you don't have to teach it.

177
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: Maybe the players are kind of taking that.

178
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: Mentality and sharing it amongst the players and making sure

179
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: they're playing it. How close do you think you're to

180
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 4: that constant, every single day swarm mentality?

181
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: With his defense, I.

182
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: Mean, I think I think we're a it's an everyday thing.

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a it's a mentality, it's a culture.

184
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: I think the guys understand it. The way we practice

185
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: in the style that we that we attack with is

186
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: something that we see every day. I mean, we always

187
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: talk about your intent. You know, sometimes it may not

188
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: be perfect, but if the intent was there, we have

189
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: a shot, you know.

190
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: So I think we're close.

191
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna It's always a thing that we're

192
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: gonna have to check on, you know, what's our mindset

193
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: before we walk into the door, and it pops off tape,

194
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: like at the end of the day, like we turn

195
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: on the film. You know, you know right away, you know,

196
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: we wanted to look a certain way when we practice,

197
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: and we wanted to look a certain way when we play.

198
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: So it's not something that's ever gonna go away because

199
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: the moment we see it on film, us not getting

200
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: off the ball, let's not running to the ball, let's

201
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: not being violent when we go strike. You'll see it

202
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: and they feel it, you know. So when you walk

203
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: off the field with this group, you kind of know, Okay, man,

204
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 3: these guys came with it. And there's always gonna be

205
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: something wrong. Somebody did something wrong. It's always gonna be that.

206
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 3: But our style. If we're swarming with the right intent,

207
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 3: it normally cleans up some of the issues. We're still

208
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: gonna have to coach something up and get something right.

209
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: But I think we I think we are understanding and

210
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: getting closer to what we want.

211
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Well, we have a million questions. I mean, it's great

212
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: to have you in Houston with the Texans longhorns.

213
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: Thoughts quickly, Oh man, man, longhorns are doing great. I

214
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: think somebody the other week came to me and said, man, yo,

215
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: what long horns are number one? And all I did

216
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: is look back and said, man, we just want to

217
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: be number one at the end of January.

218
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what that's like.

219
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: That's like, you know what that's like.

220
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: I mean, my the the year we wanted all I

221
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: think we for a week was number one USC. I

222
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: don't know how we jumped USC and it was at

223
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: one pole and we were like, it doesn't matter. You

224
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: can be number one or you can be number ten,

225
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It's all about the end of the year,

226
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: you know. So like, yeah, you know you you don't

227
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: want to be crowned too early. You want to be

228
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: crown last, you know. So I know that's what coach Sarkin.

229
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: Those guys over there are preaching, and I mean it's

230
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: very exciting times. You know, one quarterback goes out and

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: then the freaking uh you got a man, he't going

232
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: in there. So little little quarterback controversy a little bit,

233
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: but no, that's a good problem to have.

234
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: Okay, short one before we go get the Aggies at

235
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: the end of the year. How important is it too

236
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: long Horns to get the Aggies back on the schedule.

237
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's the best, It's the best. I love

238
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: that game. I was blessed to to never lose to

239
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: an Aggy as a player. As a coach, yeah, I'll

240
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: put that out there, but I mean that's a great game.

241
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 3: I mean it's we both have each other in our

242
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: fight songs, so so once once they departed, you're still

243
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: staying their name and it's like, well, we don't play

244
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: them anymore. So, I mean, those two teams in the

245
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: in the SCC, it's it's gonna be great to see.

246
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: And I mean I was a part of I was

247
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: a part of the last game. I was a lost

248
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: quality control and Tucker was was the kicker to sink

249
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: them through the centem for to the sec so of

250
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: course I was there. I was there to see it happened.

251
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: So we're excited about it. And like you said, it's

252
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: gonna be one week at a time. There's no let

253
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: up when it comes to the SEC. So I know

254
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: they're they're staying locked in on who they're playing this week.

255
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: And that's why you gotta be.

256
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't look ahead or you'll get beat.

257
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: All right, Coach, thanks a lot, all right, appreciation, Johnny.

258
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: I love Rod right being on this staff. I love

259
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the intensity a leaf Hastings Longhorns Texans. I mean, this

260
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: is just all part of it. This gets me so

261
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: fired up to have a guy like this on this staff.

262
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: It's just one of the many gems of the twenty

263
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: twenty four Houston Texans.

264
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was on the staff at Sam Houston years ago.

265
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: When I first started calling Sam Houston games. He was

266
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: coaching the D line. They were Casey Keeler, and I

267
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: remember talking to coach and he just said, yeah, Rod

268
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: won't be with us long. He understood that that Rod

269
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: was going to be moving up and moving on, and

270
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: even this offseason it was interesting with I. Oh yeah,

271
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: I got a couple of texts from people just out

272
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: of the blue, and they were like, hey, what's the

273
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: deal with Rod?

274
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Right?

275
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: And I was just like, what do you mean. He's like, yeah,

276
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 4: I played dumb, like, hey, what do you mean? You know,

277
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: he's one of our coaches, and and so I would

278
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 4: get kind of the It was it was not only

279
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 4: NFL teams, it was universities that were looking for D

280
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: line coaches.

281
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 5: And at the time Rod.

282
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 4: Was the assistant D line coach and that took over

283
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: as the you know, the D line coach. And then

284
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: Nate Ali came from Indianapolis and he he mentioned him,

285
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: and I'm glad he did, because you see, you don't

286
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 4: see one without the other. They're they're like they're together

287
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: everywhere you go, which is great.

288
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 5: And I thought I was interesting talking to.

289
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 4: I think it was McTelvin a game back in the

290
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: UH back in the training camp preseason, and he mentioned

291
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: the impact of Nate Ali. You know, he knew Nate

292
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 4: from Indianapolis and and how much Nate has men meant

293
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: to this organization as well.

294
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 5: But I remember last year we were getting ready to.

295
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: Place to play the Ravens in the Division Round, and

296
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: it just so happened on that particular day that the

297
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 4: defensive line was closest to us.

298
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: Usually they're back in that far corner, but on this

299
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 5: day they were closest to us. I don't know why.

300
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: And I look over and Rod is leading them through

301
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: some sort of like walk through, kind of blitz scheme,

302
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: stunt scheme, whatever it was. And I thought that was interesting,

303
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: Like does that happen often that an assistant D line

304
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: coach is kind of given that responsibility?

305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: And I thought this is interesting. Then I started getting

306
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: texts from people like, Hey, what's his deal?

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: What's his contract? Is he going to be with the

308
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: textans all this kind of stuff? And I just thought, oh, okay, man,

309
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: he's He's definitely a hot commodity.

310
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: And you see why.

311
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: You hear why, but you see it with the way

312
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: that these guys play, I think he innate do a

313
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: tremendous job with this defensive line.

314
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: And I'm glad he's here. It's always good.

315
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: So hopefully he and Drad Johnson have a nice little

316
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: bet for November thirtieth when the Longhorns play the Aggies.

317
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: That's gonna be a fun one.

318
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: Oh So hopefully they got a nice little, nice little

319
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: bet for that one.

320
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's he's worth it.

321
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Man.

322
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: That guy is tremendous and I think he does a

323
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 5: great job with his Dlon for sure.

324
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because you can have Longhorns and Aggies or

325
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: whatever rivals you want on a pro team and it's all, okay.

326
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: You have cj Ohio State, Nico Michigan, and it's funny

327
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: how that goes. But then when you bring up the

328
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: college stuff, I feel like we're starting to argue religion here.

329
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Let's stay out of this topic. It's like politics at

330
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the dinner table with the in laws. Don't do it,

331
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. You want to be

332
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: careful on the radio show and you're talking about that stuff.

333
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: But I'm happy for him and Texas doing well. And

334
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: we'll see about the Aggies down the stretch here. Like

335
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: you said, one other thing he said here about and

336
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna misquote it, so let me words salad it

337
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: a bit, but some And I'm hearing this theme everywhere

338
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: in this building. You gotta be like this, this these

339
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: are the expectations. And I feel like, yeah, that was

340
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: there last year, but it's really getting fully baked in

341
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: this season or two of the Demico nick Era. The

342
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: expectations are so well set, They've got the continuity.

343
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: People know what to expect and how to deliver.

344
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: I feel like it's the difference in microwaving something and

345
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: putting something in the oven. Like you you can get

346
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: something hot enough for the time being when you put

347
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: it in the microwave, but I think you get that

348
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: fully baked feeling once you put it in the oven,

349
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: and it might take a little longer. You mean, I

350
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: get that food out that quickly, but you're gonna get

351
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: it out there, and you know it's gonna be fully baked.

352
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: It's a microwave, Okay, it's gonna it's gonna take thirty

353
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: thirty to forty five seconds to hand you for that

354
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: period of time.

355
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: That's kind of the way I look at it. Like

356
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 5: Demico and the coaching.

357
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: Staff installed it last year and you could start to

358
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: see it. But when it had the off season to marinate,

359
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: and then they brought in some players, and the one

360
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: thing that kept coming back to me was was what

361
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: Rod had to say.

362
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 5: About Mario Edwards Junior, knowing knowing he had what they

363
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 5: were looking for.

364
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, even though maybe the other it might not have

365
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: been la great, he had what they were looking for.

366
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: And then once you get guys even more guys like

367
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: that that have already even before they got in the building,

368
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: they've already bought in even before they got in here,

369
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: because that's just the way they play.

370
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: It just makes it and reinforces that message that much more.

371
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: But to me, it's kind of that difference of Okay,

372
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: microwave it just to have it ready for year one,

373
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: but the thing bake. Let it get going for year two,

374
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: another year after that, and it's just going to continue

375
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 4: to snowball with more players they bring in, with the

376
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: guys that are here that continue to buy in because

377
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 4: they see the impact of it. And I just thought

378
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 4: about this the other night on Sunday night, just watching

379
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 4: you know, from field level, just how physically, I don't

380
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: want to use the word dominant, but just how physically

381
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 4: they took over the game in the second half.

382
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 5: And that was so impressive.

383
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: It was so impressive defensively to watch them just unleash

384
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: in the second half.

385
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're seeing the toughness, you're seeing the results of

386
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: it so far, but need more results Sunday against the

387
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: Vikings at noon and to talk about what it's going

388
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: to take to get those. General John McClain is going

389
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: to join us next so we'll talk to him about

390
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: the Texans, vikings all around the league. What is going

391
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: on with the AFC South. My goodness, what a start

392
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: for the Texans with a two game lead already a

393
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: long way to go. We'll discuss, and also doctor Kenneth Padel,

394
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: a Houston methodist, I'm the latest inconcussions the Guardian Caps.

395
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: What's the deal with those scientifically? That's coming up later

396
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: in the show. Before Thursday Night Football, It's Texans Radiosins

397
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Radio with the General John McClain, writing for Houston Texans

398
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: dot com and joining us on the air Monday mornings

399
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: and Thursday evenings. General, Texans at Minnesota. Some injury issues,

400
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: nothing too terrible, it seems, but your thoughts as the

401
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: Texans head for Viking Country.

402
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 6: There's so many other teams that gotten much more serious

403
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 6: injury situations. And the Texans think about last year the

404
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 6: injuries they had in the offensive line already, and I

405
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 6: think Just Scruggs is going to be back at center.

406
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 6: That'll be good, should be healthy across the board. You

407
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 6: hope the line will run, block better and do a

408
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 6: better job of pass protecting. You know, stra has been

409
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 6: sacked seven times in two games. That's among the most

410
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 6: in the league, and seems like he's being flushed out

411
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 6: of the pocket a lot. So this game starts up

412
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 6: front on both sides of the ball, and they need

413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 6: the Texans to play better. Play more like Indianapolis than Chicago.

414
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, along was launch John. You had Joe Mixon against Indianapolis.

415
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 4: You lost him at some point during the game against

416
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: the Bears.

417
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 5: He didn't come back for a little bit.

418
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: Don't know if you're gonna have him for Sunday against

419
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Vikings. He didn't have Damian Pierce last week.

420
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 4: This could be cam Akers getting the start, we don't know.

421
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: But with the running game situation be where it is,

422
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: how do you kind of project that with cam Akers

423
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: potentially being the starter, followed up by Daria Gumbwale.

424
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, they weren't running well when Mixon

425
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 6: was healthy before he got hurt. Matt abra Flush did

426
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 6: a gro defensive job, and I would expect Brian Flores,

427
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 6: who has his own system, of course, but I would

428
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: certainly be studying what Iberflus did and maybe try to

429
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 6: duplicate it the flores I think has you know, he's

430
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 6: all about what to expect is the unexpected, And of

431
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 6: course they'll want to shut down the run. And I'd

432
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 6: love to see Stroud throwing every down as long as

433
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 6: he wasn't being chased and knocked to the ground. But

434
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 6: we wanted to see cam Akers in preseason. We're going

435
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 6: to get a big dose of cam Akers. Any better

436
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 6: hold onto the football because I was thinking all those people.

437
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 6: That's one reason I never bet took to Texans and

438
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 6: six and a half, you got first and goal on

439
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: the four six minutes left, he should be head twenty

440
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 6: six to ten. Next thing you know, it's a six

441
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 6: point deficit, and I'll guarantee there's a lot of money

442
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: Jeff Texans from their fans.

443
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: John, what do you think of all the hubbub about

444
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: the Caleb Williams c J.

445
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 5: Strouder.

446
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: I know there's one of the.

447
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 6: Dumbest things I've ever heard national media trying to make

448
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 6: make it look like Stroud overstepped his bounds. Who better

449
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: to find out what it's like for a quarterback to

450
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 6: be zero to two as a rookie than CJ.

451
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: Stroud.

452
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 7: He went through it.

453
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 6: I thought it was very good, and Stroud did it

454
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 6: the fact that he said quarterbacks did it with him

455
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 6: last year and he appreciated it. Didn't look like Caleb

456
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 6: Williams was really interested in hearing it. But the fact

457
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 6: is it might something might be in there that could

458
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 6: help him recover from an O two start like Stroud did.

459
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 6: But I think that's just preposterous what a lot of

460
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 6: people have said.

461
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: General.

462
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: The Texans lost Brevin Jordan, don't know for how long,

463
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: but he goes on ir so it's a minimum of

464
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: at least four games. How do you think the Texans

465
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: go about doing things at the tight end h back

466
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 4: full back sort of position. How do you think that'll

467
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: probably come together?

468
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 6: I believe we all know cached overs the fullback, he's

469
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 6: the lead blocker. That was a great fourth down play

470
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 6: the other day. Great call by Bobby Slowick. Goodness, you

471
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 6: didn't drop it, pull a Saquon Barkley boy, and what

472
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 6: he gained seventeen yards? Yep, And he's looked good as

473
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: a runner. You know, they're not throwing the ball as

474
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 6: much as they did. Everybody's talking about, oh what's happened

475
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 6: to Tank Dell Well? Tank dropped when he should have caught.

476
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 6: But they're trying to establish the run to take some

477
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: pressure off Stroud. And you know, with average, let's see

478
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 6: what were they last year rushing average ninety four yards

479
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 6: a game still went ten and seven. Stroud played great.

480
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 6: So if they can't run the ball, but they can

481
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 6: pass protect, there's no reason to think Stroud can't play

482
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: great again and throw the ball to the tight ends

483
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 6: as well as the whiteouts.

484
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: General Nico Collins were watching it in real time. I

485
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: think he'll be one of the greatest receivers he already

486
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: is that ever played here. I know it's not a

487
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: huge body of work, had won tremendous season, working on

488
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: another Well, where do you think it ends up for him?

489
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: How would you rate him compared to some of the

490
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: guys who are ahead of him on this all time

491
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: receiving list for the Texans, of course, DeAndre Hopkins, Andre

492
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: Johnson one and two.

493
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 5: It's two and one actually.

494
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: But you look at Will Fuller in their outstanding talent career,

495
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Cut Short Walter, different kind of receiver. Brandon Cooks actually

496
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: caught a lot of balls here, but Nico is seventh

497
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: on the list and climbing rapidly.

498
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 6: I think you'll be established as clearly the third best

499
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 6: receiver as long as he stays healthy. I'm not exactly sure,

500
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 6: you know he was. He had injuries the first two years.

501
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: We saw flashes in camp, preseason practice, but he couldn't

502
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 6: stay healthy to put it all together. And last year

503
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 6: he did, even though he still missed a couple of games.

504
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: Think if he'd played every game, what his stats would

505
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 6: have been. I mean, he gotten so much attention nationally,

506
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: and I like you guys, I combed through all that

507
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 6: national stuff to see what they're saying about the Texans,

508
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 6: and Nico is getting more tension than anybody but CJ. Stroud,

509
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 6: and he's earned it. He's so strong, you know. I

510
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 6: went up to him yesterday. He's six ' four, he's

511
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 6: two twenty two. He looks more like a basketball player.

512
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 6: But when he scored that touchdown and he threw Johnson

513
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: down on the ground as he scored.

514
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 7: He looked like he was in wrestling.

515
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 6: And uh, I think that teams are gonna have to

516
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 6: start doubling him. You know, you can't when they put

517
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 6: three on one side and him out there by himself.

518
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: You got to have a safety shaded over there because

519
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 6: there's not one guy that can cover him, and he's

520
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 6: so good on the slants and he breaks so many tackles.

521
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 6: Leads the NFL in yards right now. I bet he

522
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 6: also leads in yards after the catch.

523
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 4: General going to Minneapolis, It's not just the Texans have

524
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 4: never won in Minneapolis. They have never beaten the Vikings period.

525
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna ask you why that is, but why

526
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: is Minnesota in that building?

527
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 5: Why is it such a tough place for teams to play?

528
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 6: I have a column on Houston Texans dot com day

529
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 6: about the history of the rivalry and two of those

530
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 6: five losses and monumental impacts on the franchise. Verse twenty twelve,

531
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: all yet to do is beat a Mayor, You get

532
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 6: on field advantage for the only time, and they stink

533
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 6: it up big time and lose the next one, give

534
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 6: the Patriots on field advantage, then lose the Patriots in

535
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 6: the second round. Then after that twenty nineteen season when

536
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 6: they won the Division one wild card game in overtime.

537
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 6: Going in twenty twenty, all the talk was about Bill

538
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: O'Brien doing that brain dead trade get rid of DeAndre Hopkins.

539
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 6: I've never seen so much negativity going into a season

540
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 6: in which it should be positivity because he won the

541
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 6: division in a playoff game and had a twenty three

542
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 6: point leaded Arrowhead Stadium. So what happens, fourth game of

543
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 6: the year. Here comes Minnesota, they win, There goes Bill

544
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 6: Bell O'Brien's out, Romeo Crenell was up promoted. And both

545
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 6: of those came against the Vikings. The Texans proved last

546
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: year they went outdoors against Joe Burrow. They believe they

547
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 6: could win indoors against Indianapolis, and I think they're very

548
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: capable of winning this game against the Vikings and Sam

549
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 6: Darnl and I can't wait.

550
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, one note on that day between

551
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Vikings in twenty twenty, something happened

552
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: that will be very difficult to ever pull off again.

553
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: All the head coaches in the history of the franchise

554
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: in one photo, Dom Caper's, Gary Kubiak, Bill O'Brien post

555
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: together because Capers and Kubiak were on the Vikings' staff

556
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: before the game, they posed for a picture. This is

557
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: the COVID year after the game, no more Bill O'Brien

558
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: the next day, so the photo disappeared somewhere.

559
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: I'd still like that fighters personally, I would like that photo.

560
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: But now you'd have to get six people in the

561
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: photo because you have David Kutley, Lovey Smith obviously Demiko.

562
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 5: So there we go.

563
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: All right, So the rest of the AFC South, how

564
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: bad is it? And I guess that's a rhetorical question,

565
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: but answer.

566
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 5: It for me?

567
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 7: Really bad?

568
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 5: Okay, let's start with the Colts here, because.

569
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 6: I thought you're going to talk about the Titans. Colts

570
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 6: really bad? Okay, Anthony Radgers look terrible. Run defense worse

571
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 6: than the NFL by far. They've given up two individual

572
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty yard games. No other team's giving

573
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 6: up one hundred and fifty yard game to a back.

574
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 6: They've had two backs gain at least one hundred and

575
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 6: fifty starting with Joe Mason one fifty nine. But who

576
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 6: in vision their run defense being as bad as it is?

577
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: Yep?

578
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 6: And it is terrible, and they but they should win

579
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 6: the game. Yep, they should win this game. They should.

580
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 6: But should is not a word that should exist in

581
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: the NFL.

582
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 7: Right, maybe Jeff Sarrey'll be the coach again.

583
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: At some point.

584
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, Malik, Well, we can get to stuff like

585
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: that because you never know what's going to happen this season.

586
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: But I think with another team in the division, So

587
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, that was a to me that they were

588
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: able to get that kind of performance out of him.

589
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay Lafleur manufacturing offense to manufacture the winner.

590
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 5: He just ran the.

591
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 6: Ball, ran for two hundred and thirty six yards in

592
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: the first half. Malik Willis didn't have to squat but

593
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 6: run what he threw thirteen times.

594
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 7: Now they're talking about the big.

595
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 6: Revenge game in Nashville, like like that means a lot

596
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 6: to him, and they had like Jordan Love's gonna start.

597
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 6: I don't know if he will, but he's back at practice.

598
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 6: Let me trying to scare the Titans. So it was

599
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 6: a great game plan and they ran the ball great.

600
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 6: And the Titans are desperate, just like the Coults and

601
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 6: the Jaguars. Jaguars are gonna be oh three when they

602
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 6: come in here next week.

603
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: Okay, General with the Titans, you said, really really bad.

604
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: How long at leashed does will Levis have. They've got

605
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph waiting in the ways because they no longer

606
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: had leek Willis and Mason Rudolph had some good moments

607
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 4: last year with the Steelers, and he had some good

608
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: moments in preseason.

609
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: How long a does Levis?

610
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: I want some credit here because in the summer our

611
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: offseason shows the three of us, I brought up the

612
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph starting for the Titans and how long does

613
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: it take till he does that? So I want to

614
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: know now, how long does it take till Mason Rudolph

615
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: starts for the Tennessee Titans.

616
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: They have I believe four games in a bye week. Okay,

617
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 6: so I do two shows a week up there, and

618
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 6: what I did this morning? They think if Levis continues

619
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 6: to play bad and they turn it over, he'll be

620
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 6: out after the bye week, so they'd be zero and four.

621
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: Does it help? So we talk about CJ.

622
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: Stroud and how that hurts other rookie quarterbacks because the

623
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: expectations are high. But does it help that, Hey, Carolina

624
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: benched Bryce Young and look what they sank into him

625
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: investment wise, as opposed to, Hey, we only sank a

626
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: two into Will Levis. So let's just go ahead and

627
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: bail on this right now and try to salvage our

628
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: season and go with Rudolph or whoever.

629
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think if they go with Rudolph, they'll come

630
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 6: back to him. They can't run the ball anymore. Tony

631
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 6: Bollock's okay. Ty J Spears is all right, but they

632
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 6: miss the guy that they had and Derrick Henry Brian

633
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 6: Callahan new coach. He wants his own quarterback. They always do.

634
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 6: So there's a big tryout audition for Levis and he

635
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 6: blowing it big time.

636
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Let me lop another one on top of that. I

637
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: want to throw another like I'm making scrapple here. I

638
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: got flapjacks and I got the big circular ham on

639
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: top of it.

640
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 5: This is a big Pennsylvania breakfast. Yeah, I got it.

641
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Certain people listening are just going nuts right now, but general,

642
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna love some scrapple on this.

643
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 5: Mike Frable, what is the problem with this league?

644
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: How?

645
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not even that huge a fan, but I

646
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: can spot head coaching talent when I see it.

647
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 5: How does he not have a job and did they

648
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,479
Speaker 5: totally blow it with him? What are they doing?

649
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

650
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 6: Well, most of the people in the media wanted Mike gone.

651
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 6: They gotten tired of dealing with him. It was all

652
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 6: negative about Mike rank Carthorne was a new GM.

653
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 7: New gms want their own head coach.

654
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, so he came out with all the power with

655
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 6: Amy Adams trunk.

656
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 7: So Michael Reeves surfaced.

657
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 6: We don't know if Mike would have taken any job,

658
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 6: and he walked away a lot of alions. And their

659
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 6: defense is playing really well in Cleveland, as they should,

660
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 6: and I'm guessing that Michae will get a job next year.

661
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 6: But right now the Titans, their defense is number one

662
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 6: in the league. Defense playing really well, but their offense

663
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: is not. They're not running like they used to, and

664
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 6: Levis has those brain dead turnovers, and they started calling

665
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 6: mister Mayo up there, and he has probably been making

666
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 6: mistakes like that bonheaded places. He was a kid in

667
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: the backyard and they talked to him about it. They

668
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 6: talked to him about you've got to slide, but he doesn't.

669
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 6: So if he keeps it up, he's going to be

670
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 6: out and then they'll be in the market for a

671
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 6: new quarterback next season.

672
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 5: I think one of them.

673
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 4: My wasn't because the Titans lost, but Brian Callahan reacting

674
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 4: getting caught on cameras saying, what the bleep are you

675
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: doing and people were all up in arms in Nashville.

676
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 5: It's like I thought it could have been worse. Yeah,

677
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: I mean it could have been way Worsease coach worse

678
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 5: my mind. It's ridiculous.

679
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: And the Titans, by the way, they got the Packers

680
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 4: this week, then they got a Monday nighter again at

681
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: Miami before the bye week, and then check out out

682
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: of the bye week Indian home at Buffalo, at Detroit,

683
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: home for the Patriots at Chargers, Vikings at Houston.

684
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 5: That's how they come out of.

685
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: The bye Are we entering an era here general where

686
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: it could be? I'm not saying it will be, but

687
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: it could be. I think Sean and Seth brought this up.

688
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Could this be the Patriots to the AFC East? Not

689
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: that the Texans are gonna win seven Super Bowls or

690
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: whatever or six, but I'd love to see it. But

691
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: where you have a division that's just really not good

692
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: outside of your team, could we be looking at an

693
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: era like this sustained amount of time.

694
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 6: I don't see it, No, I mean I could see it.

695
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 6: This year they're the first team since the seven Patriots

696
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 6: to be two and oh and everybody else being O two.

697
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 6: That's how unusual it is after Texans beat the Vikings.

698
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but they could have

699
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 6: a three game lead problem in Indy. Can't stop the run,

700
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 6: and Anthony Richardson's to erratic if you take away those

701
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 6: long throws, which were the first one was incredible, but

702
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 6: the other two was much The Texans fault is uh.

703
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 6: It was credit for Richardson, but uh. And then Jacksonville,

704
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 6: to me, is a mystery. Trevor Lawrence might be playing

705
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 6: worse right now, and he got that big contract. Did

706
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 6: y'all see that stat that the quarterbacks have got the

707
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 6: big contracts in all season are like three and seven?

708
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because is on our of course it's two

709
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: weeks in that game. Surprised me though, with Jacksonville in

710
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: the rain at home, him doing so badly against Cleveland.

711
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: I know Cleveland played some good.

712
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: D but it was kind of a best case scenario

713
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: for the Texans because you know good and yeah, he

714
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: couldn't lose.

715
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: And the Jaguars you wanted them to.

716
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 7: Love Brown's quarterback who shall not be named.

717
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: And I heard somebody say, oh, yeah, maybe, oh it's

718
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 4: Booger McFarlane. So it's bound to be wrong. But Burger

719
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 4: was like, watching look good in this game. I'm like, what,

720
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 4: like the hell he did? He did not look good

721
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 4: in that game. He didn't look good at all.

722
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 6: I already got un nationally I really respect on a

723
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 6: radio saying Aaron Rodgers played great in the game, and yeah,

724
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: and if you argued with him, he just he was

725
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 6: so uh, not rude, but talking down to him because

726
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: they didn't see what he saw.

727
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 7: And Rogers was great when.

728
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: He was not so general more likely to recover from

729
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: their start. And they played each other this weekend, different records,

730
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens, who are zero

731
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: and to Cowboys one and one after falling to the Saints.

732
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Who do you think has a better season when it's

733
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: all said and done.

734
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 6: Boy, that's a question everybody's asking. Cowboys run beating at

735
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: home last year until they played the Packers.

736
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 7: They averaged like thirty seven points in game. I thought

737
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 7: they were gonna beat up.

738
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 6: The States that the Saints was all in admiration because

739
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 6: they walloped the Panthers, who might be the worst team

740
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 6: since those sixteen Lions. So I can't imagine Cowboys losing

741
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 6: three in a row at home, counting the Packers, but

742
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 6: I can't imagine the Ravens starting three. So I'm gonna

743
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,479
Speaker 6: say the Ravens win. Ooh, and they were my Super

744
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 6: Bowl picks. I have to stick with them, makes them

745
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 6: both one and two. It's kind of nice if that continues.

746
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: Is there any thought Mike McCarthy loses his job sometime

747
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 4: before the end of We Get Well?

748
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 6: A lot of people would say that if it happens,

749
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 6: And who does he have on his staff ready to

750
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 6: promote Mike Zimmer. Jerry Jones loves Mike Zimmer, loved him

751
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 6: back when he was in Dallas. So you've got a

752
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 6: former head coach who's been to the NFC Championship game

753
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 6: who is right there, and yeah, Dan Quinn in the past,

754
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 6: and Jerry Jones is not a quick trigger guy, but

755
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 6: he's got eye expectations.

756
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 7: He said.

757
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: Mike mcmccarthy is judging the playoffs like we're in the playoffs.

758
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 6: That's how I'm gonna judge him. Well, whoops, right now,

759
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 6: you might not be all right.

760
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: This is the pure medical speculation portion of the program,

761
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: because in the next segment, we're gonna have doctor Kenneth

762
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: Padel on the Talk Concussions, and he's amazing from the

763
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist Concussion Center, but to a tungue of ioloh

764
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: at general, what are your thoughts on his situation as

765
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: we look from afar? Wonder if we're going to see

766
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: him in December because they're scheduled to come here, and

767
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: what he should do, what he made?

768
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 6: Might I think all these people saying what he should

769
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 6: do or clue lest they have no idea what's wrong

770
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 6: with him? There are different degrees of concussions. As the

771
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 6: dog will tell you. You can say, well, you hope he does.

772
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 6: The fact is he will get cleared, he will be back.

773
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 6: He will continue to play because he's a football player,

774
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 6: because he's making a lot of money, because there's supposed

775
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: to be a Super Bowl contender, and he doesn't want

776
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 6: to quit. And that concussion was his fault and his

777
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 6: fault alone, because he didn't do what he did all

778
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 6: last season for eighteen games, which was slide, probably because

779
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 6: he was awful. He'd drown a pick six, bunch of interceptions.

780
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 6: So he goes in head first, and when he comes

781
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 6: out and plays again, he will never go head first again.

782
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 4: I hope he doesn't go head first again, and we'll

783
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: see if another guy goes head first and whether he

784
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 4: even plays again. Bryce Young benched after two games in

785
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: the second year. In general, decipher that situation in Carolina.

786
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: Do we see Bryce Young again? Whose fault is it

787
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 4: that we've gotten to this point.

788
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 6: I think that Andy Dalton's will probably get hurt at

789
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 6: some point and Young will come back in and play

790
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 6: because Dalton's playing with a terrible offensive line. They've done

791
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 6: Bryce Shung such an injustice. It's not like they took

792
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 6: a chance on him when everybody said not to. When

793
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield was the first overall pick, they were the

794
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 6: only team that thought he should be Cliff Kingsbury the

795
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 6: only person that thought Kyler Murray should be the first

796
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 6: overall pick. But there was a lot of people they

797
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 6: thought Bryce Young should be the overall first overall pick.

798
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 6: But man, oh man, I can't imagine Dave Canalis, a

799
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 6: new coach who's spent all off season, training camp, preseason

800
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 6: with him, is dumping him after two games, they say,

801
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 6: and it doesn't have David Tepper's fingerpots on it.

802
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 7: I think it's got it all over it.

803
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I wonder general, what is the plan there?

804
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean what I get Andy Dalton as a backup,

805
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: But Andy Dalton to me as a backup if you

806
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: have a team that's competitive, if you have Bryce Young,

807
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: don't you need your Steve Walsh, your Kirk Cousins, John

808
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: Milton in New England, a guy who could possibly be

809
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: the guy if the other guy isn't the guy.

810
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 6: They don't want to pull around and win a couple

811
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 6: of games and not get the first pick because they

812
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 6: could take a quarterback first overall for the second time

813
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 6: in three years.

814
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 5: I know, but John Harris tells me this is not

815
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 5: the year to do that, not the year to tank

816
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: for quarterbacks.

817
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 6: Well, it means they'll do it, then, Okay, they've been

818
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 6: terrible since he bought that team in two thousand and eighteen.

819
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 6: Not only is he the worst owner in the NFL,

820
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 6: he might be the worst in sports because he constantly,

821
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 6: constantly is interfering. And that's one of the things about

822
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 6: the McNair family. They spend a lot of money, and

823
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: they don't make Nick Caserio do things, and so they

824
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 6: pay money, They give them what they need. They want

825
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 6: to know what's going on, and then they stay out

826
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: of the personnel decisions, and that's the way an ownership

827
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 6: should be.

828
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 5: What do you have on Houston Texans dot com for us?

829
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 6: I'm writing a column that will be posted tomorrow on

830
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 6: The Kicker Kayimi.

831
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Oh kayman no alua mechi iki okka fairbaron.

832
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I have a column on him and he says.

833
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 6: John Weeks says, and Weeks ought to be the expert

834
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 6: on this. Of course, he's been with him since twenty

835
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 6: sixteen when he was on our He said, it's not

836
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 6: that his legs stronger, it's not that he's more accurate.

837
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 6: They're giving him more opportunities, the most opportunities ever had from.

838
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 7: Fifty or more.

839
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 6: Six he's already had six and two games. And I

840
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 6: asked to Miko yesterday, may you not go for it

841
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 6: as much on fourth and short when you cross midfield

842
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 6: because you got so much confidence in him? And he said, well,

843
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 6: it's great to have options, and I have one today

844
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 6: about the history of the Texans and what they're going

845
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 6: to face with Brian Flores now they need to beat

846
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 6: the Vikings for the first time on Sunday. Thank you general,

847
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 6: Thank you guys very much. As always, all.

848
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: Right there he is the General John McClain and coming

849
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: up doctor Kenneth pedell As promised concussions. What's the latest

850
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: in technology? What about those Guardian caps? How do they

851
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: really work? It might not be what you think. It's

852
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: coming up here on Texans All Access. All right, this

853
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: is our final segment on the show tonight Thursday nights

854
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: during the season, we dig into a little medical stuff

855
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: related to sports. Of course sometimes not though we've ventured out,

856
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: but it's always relevant to your life one way or another,

857
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: either as a sports fan or just somebody who suffers

858
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: from injuries, illnesses or whatever. Because it's Houston Methodist Minutes,

859
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: and I'll have some stuff on the back end of this,

860
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: by the way, on your Texans Now, Houston Methodist Minutes

861
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: Tonight focuses on concussions. Doctor Kenneth Padell, one of the

862
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: very best in the country, the Houston Methodist Concussion Center.

863
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: He leads it and he talks about Guardian caps, things

864
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: like that. Let's get to him, doctor, how's it going.

865
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 8: That's great? Mark, how are you doing?

866
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 5: Doing very well?

867
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: So one thing that was very clear to us in

868
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: regard to this topic is the Guardian caps in training

869
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: camp wearing the Guardian caps and now players wearing the

870
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Guardian caps in games. Tell us the advantages of the

871
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: Guardian cap and the evolution if you could sure sure.

872
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 8: The Guardian cap actually goes back to about twenty ten.

873
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 8: When it was first introduced, wasn't used a lot. There

874
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 8: were some issues about whether it would avoid warranties on helmets,

875
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 8: but that turns out not to be the case, and

876
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 8: it started to pick up a little steam, and in

877
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 8: twenty twenty two, the NFL decided to test it in preseason.

878
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 8: And the reason they did that, excuse me, preseason is

879
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 8: the highest rate of concussions in the NFL. Obviously, you're

880
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 8: carrying seventy men for teams, so you have more players,

881
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 8: and that's part of it. But they decided to try

882
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 8: it in preseason, and over the two years that they've

883
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 8: had it in preseason, their data that they report is

884
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 8: a fifty percent reduction in the number of concussions in preseason.

885
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 8: Now that data is still private, it hasn't been vetted

886
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 8: in the public yet, but assuming that's accurate data, that's

887
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 8: a remarkable reduction. So earlier this year, in April twenty

888
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 8: twenty four, the NFL made the decision that any player

889
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 8: can wear the Guardian cap during the regular season. It's voluntary,

890
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 8: so nobody's forced to do it. That's going to take

891
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 8: a little time for that to take hold. Any type

892
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 8: of new technology rule always takes a little time to

893
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 8: gain popularity. Now, the science behind the Guardian cap is

894
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 8: to reduce the amount of energy or force that's going

895
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 8: through a helmet into the player's head and therefore reduced concussions.

896
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 8: If you've ever seen the Guardian caps, a bunch of

897
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 8: little foam padding squares that are around the helmet, and

898
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 8: by design it supposedly absorbs that force and therefore less

899
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 8: goes into the player, and that's concussions. However, the actuality

900
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 8: is that's not how they actually work. They work because

901
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 8: they're slippery and they move around the helmet and that

902
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 8: deflects the direction of the energy away from the helmet.

903
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 8: In laboratory testing both by the NFL and the NFL's

904
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 8: Players Association as hired engineers in Virginia Tech, which is

905
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 8: completely independent from the NFL or any manufacturer, shows a

906
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 8: significant reduction in the force the energy that happens when

907
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 8: they collide. It's additive, meaning that if one player wears it,

908
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 8: there's anywhere from about an eight to fifteen percent reduction

909
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 8: in energy. If both players wear it, it's about fifteen

910
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 8: to maybe twenty five thirty percent, So that's a lot

911
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 8: of reduction and energy and technically should reduce the number

912
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 8: of concussions.

913
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: Great information, doctor, We look forward to catching up soon

914
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: on more information on concussions.

915
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 8: All right, Mark, you're welcome, Thanks lot for having me.

916
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: There's doctor Kenneth Pidell from the Houston Methodist Concussion Center,

917
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: one of the very best on planet Earth. Houston Methodist Minutes.

918
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: It's the official healthcare provider of the Houston Texans. Houston

919
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: Methodist Leading Medicine. A couple of things on the way out.

920
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: If you haven't checked out the CJ. Stroud miked up video,

921
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: it's on YouTube and on Houston Texans dot com and

922
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: you must, because yeah, it has that Caleb Williams interaction

923
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: at the end that everyone's talking about. But what you

924
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: really need to focus on, in my opinion, is Stroud

925
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: in general. He's a revelation. The way he interacts with

926
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: his teammates, with the other team, with the officials. You'd

927
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: be so proud of him. It's amazing to see how

928
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: he conducts himself around other people. It's so impressive for

929
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: a young man twenty three about to turn twenty four.

930
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: Just incredible stuff from CJ. Stroud in that video. Also

931
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,000
